Another consequence of the lawsuit is that Tesla's board has pledged to change the way compensation is determined. The $735 million settlement will be paid to Tesla to benefit the company, which is a type of case known as a derivative lawsuit. It is one of the largest ever settlement for a a derivative case in the Court of Chancery, a major venue for shareholder litigation. In its defense against the lawsuit, Tesla argued that its unprecedented growth sent the company's stock price up tenfold, and that stock options awarded to the directors and to Musk rose sharply in value. The EV maker said it used the stock options to ensure the incentives of directors were aligned with the goals of investors. On a related note, the settlement does not impact the $56 billion compensation package of Elon Musk , which is subject to a separate lawsuit that went to trial last year. A ruling is expected soon in the Musk case.
